First post here. I'm a nurse at the local hospital and The unemployment rate is 2.2%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $100,956 in Mount Horeb. Poverty rate is 1.2%, which is pretty low. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The city has invested a lot in new development. Am I overthinking this? Thanks in advance! Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem decent.
I've been here 1 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is food scene. It's affordable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the cost of living is legit. And if you're into rock climbing, this place is improving.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Highland side vs the Springfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Happy to answer more specific questions..

Weather-wise, the summers are excellent and winters are wild. You get used to it after the first year.
